A "VS" match in Tekken. That's what needs to happen.Originally Posted by Saint_Dee
I reckon we squash all this animosity in the ring, James and Gavin can decide what game they'll play.
Gamer Fight Club, they get to vent through the game and have fun while they're at it, we get entertainment(if they choose to make it public, of course).
Mygaming, Lazygamer, make it happen.
That's what she said.

I like how you think, Sir
Yes, there was a mistake, which I admitted and corrected. You should try it sometime - like in this case, where you incorrectly accused us of something.Just a correction to your sniping..
You changed your headline and then accused me of not being able to read.. nice
Not sure when you became the paragon of journalistic excellence and in any position to criticise what I do. Sometimes, when you don't have a petty vendetta, you just post the news as it comes.
We must be looking at different version of Effective Measure then. The last few months, your international traffic beat us, and our local traffic beat yours. Those are the facts.

i think going back to MSSA is still rubbish they dont know what they doing and are making SA esports a stuff up.
They dont have the players in mind nor the country.
I dont care for the fight between LG and MyG, but hate the fact that MSSA is not doing something with the gamers in mind.
That whole team is not even the best SA can offer. Its just like our SA soccor team thinking they good because they with MSSA. Why not take the top 3 teams/players from the DGL to rep SA in gaming over seas. O wait they not with MSSA
DGL is a private commercial league and doesn't have anything to do with MSSA and its team trials.
Clans, clubs, and players that compete in the DGL must register with MSSA and then compete in team trials to be selected for the team.

Dont get why they have to register with MSSA. I dont mind if they do more comps like DGL but i dont get why you need register with MSSA 1st to be able to compete in international games.
I don't for a second believe that South Africa is top 10 in the world though.
When an anti-piracy method is affecting the game for people who legitimately bought it and causing other people not to buy the game, there is obviously something wrong with it!
Wow, where is my popcorn. Personally I say don't throw rocks until you sure you have the right target and when I read the LZ article it was clear he took one line out of context and decided to have a mini rant.
Gret repli LZ, nize to c you take the hi road (I wrote that in my best LZ).
My ignore list: n/a
MSSA is affiliated with SASCOC (South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee), and SASCOC is granted power by the ministry of sport.
SASCOC can only appoint one organisation to be the official governing body of a particular discipline. The MSSA is that federation, and their mandate is to promote eSport, among other table top type games.
The MSSA is bound up by all sorts of red tape, and eSport actually makes up only a small portion of what they manage. Traditional African board games such as Morabaraba are very popular, and these help the MSSA meet various BEE requirements (eSport doesn't have much BEE representation).
One of the things SASCOC does is manage the "Team South Africa" brand. Just because you are from South Africa doesn't mean you can legitimately call yourself "Team South Africa". MSSA handles the handing out of national colours and is responsible for putting together the official South African eSport teams.
In order to represent South Africa as Team South Africa, you have to go through the motions. This means becoming a member of MSSA, or your club/clan becoming a member. Once a member of the MSSA there are some levels of assistance that can be granted, financial and otherwise, on the road to being a member of Team South Africa.
This isn't a strange situation - it's how every other sport is officially handled in SA. I see a lot arguments that DGL has better players - that may be true, but DGL isn't going to pay to send players overseas to compete in other leagues - why would they?
DGL can be a great proving ground for clans but if they want to officially represent South Africa, they must go through the official channels. It's also not a joke and there are responsibilities that come along with being a Team South Africa member; contracts in place to protect the country's image and require minimum levels of participation.
Sure, the MSSA might not be doing a perfect job, but they are trying, and they are sending teams overseas to compete. I don't recall any private commercial gaming leagues doing this.
